I just found a cheap NCR monitor mv0951a in a
trashbin. Really small and
compact so I snatched/saved it and brought it to the lab. Seems to be
VGA but when i bent down to plug it in, I noticed it had a non-standard
AC plug with 3 small blades! wtf? no one here recognizes it. I'm
googling now. It would be a great little lab monitor if it's not 220v or
some alien design.
Does it have a plastic pin about as thick as your finger, with three
blades sticking out the side of it in a line? It might be an Electrak
plug. They're used a lot in commercial environments. We used to have
them on IBM POS equipment so supermarket cleaners didn't plug their
hoovers into the clean feed.
